I'm floating in my boat
Not the one I used to fish in
But the boat I sit in wishin'
I was still floating on my fishing boat
And I'm out here on this river
Really it's just a creek
This river when I drink
So I'm drinking on my river boatI could sail to the ocean
The wind would come and get me
But I ain't goin' nowhere quickly
I'm just a drunkin' sailor
Waiting on a gale
With a drink in my hand and a sailboat for saleAye
AyeAn old pirate sold me on a
We traded straight across
The boat I thought I wanted
For the boat I hate I lost
She'll sing when that wind whistles
When it doesn't, well she don't
Just ask that old pirate
That's floatin' on my river boatI could sail to the ocean
If the wind would come and get me
But I ain't goin' nowhere quickly
I'm just a drunkin' sailor
Waiting on a gale
With a drink in my hand and a sailboat for saleNever make a handshake deal while sharing someone bottle
Never buy a boat son that doesn't have a throttleAye
AyeI could sail to the ocean
If the wind would come and get me
But I ain't goin' nowhere quickly
I'm just a drunkin' sailor
Waiting on a gale
With a drink in my hand and a sailboat for saleI got a sailboat for saleAye
Aye
